In Spring this year I was able to take some nice pictures of the Great Crested Grebe mating and building their nest as well of one of them fishing in the lake. This one had luck and caught a pretty big fish and ate it right away. I had my Camera on burst shooting when I saw the bird with the fish in the mouth. I took these pictures on a lake near Linz so i can visit this place pretty often to take some pictures, but still you need luck to find these birds there. In Spring they are there very often but in Summer it is difficult to find them there because in the lake nearby the people are swimming and so they hide during the summer season.
